After a night at Brooklyn Bowl, I smelled tacos on the walk back to the L, and immediately informed my friend Tim that if we found a taco truck, we had to stop. And then on the corner of North 7th and Bedford Ave, right near the Salvation Army, was Tacos Morelos.
While the [...]

Last week, I was in a quick rush for lunch and decided to check out a new street cart across the street from my office. I was in the mood for falafel and luckily, the guy on the street had a great neon green poster advertising my dish for $3.75. I was sold.

I apologize to those offended by my use of a plate and silverware when eating street food. I agree it's best eaten out of aluminum foil, or in a Styrofoam container and with plastic cutlery. But I didn't have much of a choice, since I was [...]

Yesterday, McKenna, Doug and I ventured off to Bryant Park to enjoy the free summer series: Broadway in Bryant Park. As a musical theater enthusiast (and may I add, I’m what the theater calls a triple threat - I can sing, act AND dance…and toot my own horn apparently), I was really looking forward [...]

After a fun, work-approved outdoor excursion to Madison Square Park last Friday, a few of us decided to stop by Tabla‘s street cart for lunch. On paper this sounds like a great idea - a fantastic restaurant offering its food at the street cart level for a quick lunch - but unfortunately it doesn’t [...]

In my opinion, soup is an enigma. Is it a meal, or simply an appetizer? If it has chicken, beef or other hearty components, do you need less of it to fill you up? Why is it that a 12 cent pack of ramen is just as [...]

Months ago, I wrote about street cart dining and if they were classy or trashy. Unfortunately, the street cart I was in love with on the SW corner of 31st and Park has since disappeared. We’re not sure if it’s the economy or weather that scared my falafel man away, but he certainly has [...]

Since starting my job in NYC, I’ve been tempted with the smell of Rafiqui’s Street Cart. Even the smell of gyros at 8:55 a.m. could send my stomach into an instant growl. However, for one reason or another, when grabbing a bite to eat I found myself heading over to an establishment that had [...]
